US 2021/0233129 A1 · MACHINE LEARNING BASED INTELLIGENT PARTS CATALOG

Abstract

As an example, a server may host an intelligent parts catalog that uses multiple machine learning models to identify a similarity between each part and one or more other parts in the intelligent parts catalog based on attributes of each of the parts in the intelligent parts catalog. For example, the attributes may include size, form factor, electrical characteristics, power consumption, price, regulations complied with, reliability, taxonomy, and the like. If a particular part becomes unavailable (e.g., due to weather, labor strike, or manufacturing issues), the intelligent parts catalog may provide a similarity score with each similar part that quantifies how similar each similar part is to the particular part. In this way, the same bill of materials can be used to identify parts to create a first product for a quality-conscious market, a second product for a price-sensitive market, and a third product to comply with local regulations.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by an intelligent parts catalog hosted by a server, a query comprising a part number corresponding to a particular part used to manufacture a product;
determining, by the intelligent parts catalog, a particular set of attributes associated with the particular part;
performing, by the intelligent parts catalog, a comparison of the particular set of attributes to individual sets of attributes associated with individual part numbers in the intelligent parts catalog;
determining, by the intelligent parts catalog, one or more similar parts to the particular part based on the comparison;
determining, by the intelligent parts catalog, a similarity score associated with at least a portion of the individual part numbers;
determining, by the intelligent parts catalog, one or more similar parts to the particular part based on the associated similarity score;
and
providing, by the intelligent parts catalog, results including one or more similar part numbers corresponding to the one or more similar parts, the one or more similar part numbers ordered in descending order based on the associated similarity score.
